## Ingredients

- 1 container Vanilla frosting
- 0.5 cup softened butter
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar

## Instructions

1. Transfer the store-bought frosting to a bigger bowl.
2. Add one stick (half a cup) of softened butter to the frosting. The video mentions the butter is salted, but you can use unsalted butter or cream cheese.
3. Add one teaspoon of vanilla bean paste or extract.
4. If desired, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of powdered sugar to compensate for the butter being added.
5. Use a mixer to whip all ingredients together until smooth and fluffy.
6. Taste the frosting to check for desired sweetness and consistency.

## Equipment

- big bowl
- mixer

## Tips

- If you think the frosting is too sweet, the butter helps cut that sweetness.
- If you add unsalted butter or cream cheese, make sure you add about 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Whipping the frosting, even without adding anything, will increase its volume and make it look better and fluffier, like a homemade frosting.
